Swifts

Leeds Swifts is a group of friendly volunteers working to bring this red listed species back from the brink. The aerial screaming display of Swifts was once the sound of summer. This enigmatic bird has sadly all but disappeared from our skies. Find out how you can help us make Leeds the Swift capital of the UK.
